Visit to Nick Down...
The first mentoring day was held at Yattendon Estate, a 3,200ha farm in West Berkshire, where Nick Down, a Cohort 1 graduate of the Resilient and Ready programme, welcomed the current Cohort and mentees. They were Lucy & Nick Tyler from Kingsplay Farm and Bryony & Archie Graham from Lodge Farm Essex, along with LEAF and Corteva representatives.
Nick gave an overview of his farm, his progress and goals on the R&R programme, and the challenges he faced. His presentation sparked a lively discussion among the farms, who found they had a lot in common despite their differences in size and type of farms. The group then toured the farm and saw how Nick diversified his business and reduced his carbon footprint through various projects with his innovative and sustainable approach to farming.
The day highlighted the importance of learning from each other and generating new ideas. It was a great source of inspiration and confidence for both Cohort 2 farms.
